Escapade ends

Judy, Glunda, John, Pat & Harry.  We are waiting for the evenings gift give-aways and entertainment.

The crowd, there were 547 RVs here and over 1,000 people for the 54th Escapade.

Ham-O-Rama, this is fellow RVers who have a talent of some sort and entertain the rest of us.  Some are great and some need tomatoes thrown at them.. many are quite surprisingly good!

After the closing ceremonies this afternoon several of us HitchHiker's went out for one more meal and fellowship.

And this is the exit road, we watched 2 or 3 RV's depart today with no problems, it's suppose to rain tonight so it could be worse for  the remaining 80 or 90 RVs.

Rain rain rain now cold cold cold

Well, what do you think the chances are that we will be able to get out of here?  Poor at best huh?  The one motorhome that tried today needed a tow truck just like the one yesterday.  We are being told to stay put. The fairgrounds will give us a free night Saturday to allow the ground to dry (assuming the rain stops!). There has been some gravel put on the road inside the track (all we have to do is GET to it!).  We had planned to leave tomorrow afternoon to get to Randy's pasture and attend Devyn's soccer game Saturday morning. Our plan now is to drive the truck only to Onsted early Saturday morning to watch the game then return here and tow out Sunday, weather permitting.

As you can see it is also cold and wet now, at 4:15 it is 42 degrees and tonight's forecast is 33 degrees.  I think this is the last spring rally in the north we will attend.  Make that this is the last spring rally in the north we will attend.
We will trek over to the evenings entertainment (Ham-O-Rama) and tomorrows afternoon's closing ceremony and one more seminar in the morning.

Escapade activities

                                                             Judy and Glynda relaxing.

                                    The stage and some opening activities as the attendees arrive.

The evenings entertainment, Johnny Counterfeit.  He does voice impersonations....singers, entertainers, politicians, etc.  We all had a good laugh.

This presenter discussed RVers and investing.  He's a lawyer and financial planner that is the Escapees counsel.  He's wearing the only suit I've expect to see here.

This is Nick Russell presenting his The Frugal RVer.  We have seen him at several rallies, including his own.

 After today's rallies activities Judy and I went out for supper.  We stopped at Jo Jo's Pretzels first.

                                After Jo Jo's we went to Penguin Point for burgers, we will not return.
